PermalinkI have to agree with the handheld shots becoming tiresome. They still can work, depending.... But not here.
However, I do like the idea of this ad. (I know of an instance where a hearing-impared girl [around 25 yo] was busy texting on her phone while walking on railroad tracks [Apparently, she was upset with someone, based on the messages]. She couldn't hear the train, and had her back turned to it. You can fill in the rest. {Hint: It wasn't a near-miss.}).
The look on the girl's face here is great, like "WTF just happened?!?!?" :-)

PermalinkOh god yeah, she is better than the javelin-joke - and that handheld stuff is ugly as sin made worse in this example than any other I have seen.
